While record also showed that the plaintiff filed "Complainant Information Sheet" (CIS) with Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) within 180 days of her termination, and that IDHR had work-sharing agreement with EEOC that automatically cross-filed claims with EEOC, the CIS did not qualify as charge of discrimination for purposes of satisfying requirement that charge of discrimination be filed within 300 days of last act of discrimination, because CIS did not request any remedial action.
The Seventh Circuit also noted that the CIS contained statements indicating that "THIS IS NOT A CHARGE," and that "if IDHR accepts your claim, we will send you a charge form for signature."
